The Ghost Migrator plugin will export as much blog and publication data as it can into a clean set of exported files.

- Posts, pages, tags and authors are all automatically exported and recreated for Ghost
- Tags will be migrated, but not categories. If needed you can [convert your categories to tags](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcat2tag-importer/) before exporting.
- Ghost does not have built-in comments, but it does integrate with [many comment platforms](https://ghost.org/integrations/?tag=community) if you want to migrate your comments there.
- Posts, pages, categories, tags and authors are all automatically exported and recreated for Ghost
- Categories will be converted to tags. They appear first in the tag list, in the order that WordPress returns them. An internal "#wordpress" tag will be added to all exported posts so they can be easily found later. This tag is not visible to users.
- Ghost has built-in comments, but comments are not migrated.
- No custom fields, meta, shortcodes, post types, taxonomies or binary files will be migrated. Just regular **posts**, **pages**, **tags** and **images**
- Passwords are not migrated - after importing to Ghost, each user may perform a password reset to gain access to their Ghost account
